Lockbox filled with goblins

I have learned new information. This is from a post about how to get the most disapproval points from companions.

Something is fungible when it is completely interchangeable with its own kind in a trade or exchange. For example, currency is fungible -- one US dollar can be traded with another US dollar and essentially nothing has happened. The two dollars might be physically different -- most currencies are marked with serial numbers in case they need to be tracked due to theft or counterfeiting or whatever -- but in trade this doesn't matter. The specific dollar you have has no effect on anything -- any dollar is every dollar. Electricity is another fungible asset -- once it's in the system, it makes no difference whether the electricity you're using was developed in a coal plant or a nuclear plant or a solar panel. (Electricity, unlike coins, is physically identical which means you can't even have non-fungible edge cases like collectible coins.)

Houses, or racehorses, or paintings, are non-fungible. You can trade these just like money or electricity, but one house is not equal to every house -- their values will change relative to each other, and which house or horse or painting you have matters. If you want to economically model the value of houses as assets and trade goods, you can't do so in the unit of "house" -- you have to convert it to a fungible currency, like the dollar or the megawatt-hour, first. (You can create an "average house value" and mark the value of every house as a certain percentage above or below it, but this is just currency with extra steps. Now you've invented a fungible token useful only in comparing and trading houses. Hooray.)

their (live!) young gestate for. wait for it. eight to eighteen (??) YEARS. can have up to 10 at a time. good grief.

longest lifespan of any vertebrate, up to five hundred years

toxic flesh

has giant eyes but is usually blind because of a weird little crustacean that's evolved to live on and eat their eyes. this doesn't seem to bother them much.

lives in deep cold water and has the lowest swim speed and tail-beat frequency for its size across all fish species. just generally lives life in extreme slow motion

largest genome of any shark

eats everything including moose and polar bears

ask yourself, is it as fabulous and as cunty as lee pace in this little chainmail crop top number

Like this. And it’s beautiful. It’s beautiful to hear a soliloquy I loved so much already, and have it come to life in a way it never, ever, did before. I feel like I grasp his motivations, his twists and turns, no longer on an academic level but on a visceral, instinctive one. Because he’s presenting his mental and emotional journey in a way that speaks honestly, like a real person.
